Attack on Titan 3 launches on December 10, 2026. KOEI TECMO set the date in early August, and the game arrives the same day on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and PC through Steam. In Europe it is marketed as A.O.T. 3, and on Steam the full name is Attack on Titan 3 / A.O.T. 3.
Omega Force, the studio behind the first two games, is developing it. This is the first numbered entry since Attack on Titan 2 in 2018, and it covers the story from its beginning all the way to the ending, with the Nine Titans appearing in the game series for the first time.
If you opened the Steam page in the U.S. and saw Dec 9, keep reading: that is the same launch, shown in your local time zone. Everything below reflects what has been officially confirmed as of November 10, 2026.
Items that are still unannounced, such as PC system requirements, the exact unlock hour and any demo, are marked as not yet announced rather than guessed.

December 9 or 10, and is there an English dub?
Two questions come up more than any other. The first is the date. KOEI TECMO America's announcement says December 10, 2026 for every platform.
The Steam store, however, converts its unlock time into each visitor's local time zone. Viewed from U.S. time zones, the page reads Coming Dec 9, 2026 and Advance Access Starts Dec 6, while the same page viewed from Japan or Korea shows December 10 and December 7.
Nothing has moved; it is one unlock moment written in two calendars. Console storefronts can handle regional unlocks differently, and the exact hour has not been announced, so treat Steam's countdown as the final word once it appears. The second question is language.
There is no English voice track. The Western press release lists Japanese voice acting with on-screen text in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish.
As of November 10 the Steam language table goes further and shows nine languages for interface and subtitles: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean, with full audio in Japanese only. If you prefer dubs, plan on subtitles.
The Steam page also lists an adjustable text size option and subtitle options, which help on a TV or an ultrawide screen.
On price, the U.S. Steam store lists the Standard Edition at $69.99 and the Digital Deluxe Edition at $89.99 for pre-purchase as of November 10, 2026, with no discount running, so early access and the deluxe extras cost $20 more.
How to get ready before launch week
- 1Confirm the date in your own time zoneOpen the Steam page while signed in and read the date it shows you. From the U.S. it will say Dec 9 for launch and Dec 6 for Advance Access; from Europe or Asia it shows December 10 and December 7. If a news post and your store page disagree by one day, it is the time zone, not a delay. Check the countdown again once the unlock hour is announced.
- 2Pick the edition that matches when you want to playIf you want to start three days early, choose the Digital Deluxe Edition on PS5, Xbox or Steam. It also bundles a digital art book (Japanese only), three outfits for Eren, Mikasa and Armin, seven customization items, an original equipment pack and a starter item pack. The Upgrade Pack adds the same items to a standard copy but does not include early access.
- 3Lock in the pre-order and early purchase bonusesDigital pre-orders get the Wings of Freedom Earrings. Anyone who buys a first print physical copy, or buys digitally by December 23, 2026, gets the Wings of Freedom Hoodie. If you still have Attack on Titan 2 or 2: Final Battle save data on the same console, keep it there for the save data bonus, whose details are still to come.
- 4Plan for the PC versionSteam lists support for various gamepads, fully remappable mouse and keyboard controls, 4K, ultrawide monitors, multiple upscaling technologies, HDR and high refresh rate displays. Minimum and recommended specs still read TBD, so free up SSD space once they are posted. If you also want to capture your playthrough, compare your options in how to record Steam games.
- 5Get ready to capture your first ODM flightsIn Tokyo Game Show 2026 hands on previews, the new Focus Mode slowed time almost to a stop in mid air so you could aim at a Titan's limbs or nape. Those are exactly the moments you will want to rewatch, so have recording ready from your first session. For ways to make a frozen moment pop in an edit, see freeze frame and highlight effects for game clips.
Double check before you buy
- Date: launch is December 10, 2026; Steam in U.S. time zones shows Dec 9 for the same unlock, and Advance Access shows Dec 6.
- Edition: early access comes only with the Digital Deluxe Edition, and not on Switch 2 or through the Upgrade Pack.
- Language: English text and subtitles with Japanese voice acting; there is no English dub listed.
- Bonuses: digital purchases must be made by December 23, 2026 for the hoodie, and save data bonuses need the save on the same console.
- Capture quality: the PC version supports 4K, so if you want 4K footage, check codecs and disk space first in the 4K game recording guide.
Record your first launch week flights with DOR
DOR is a free Windows game recording app. It detects supported games when you launch them and records the whole session until you quit, collecting every recording in My Clips in the app. When you want to grab a specific moment yourself, start and stop screen recording (F7 by default).
Game audio and your mic go into the same track, so your reaction when the Beast Titan finally goes down stays in sync with the fight. From a long recording, trim just the nape strike in the app and save it in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1.
In DOR Studio (dor.gg/studio) you can join several clips, add effect templates such as shake zoom and punch zoom, text and background music, then download an mp4 or send a dor.gg link. For a quick way to punch in on a slash, read zoom effects for gaming clips, and to string several flights into one video, follow how to merge game clips.
On supported NVIDIA cards such as the RTX series, DOR records with NVENC hardware encoding. The free plan records at up to 1080p and 60 fps, and 1440p, 4K, 120 fps and 144 fps are part of DOR Pro.
